	Taiwan Communique no. 105
		Lien Chan has alienated himself from the Taiwanese mainstream by steering the KMT away from the "Taiwan First" policy of former President Lee, towards a policy of kowtowing to China.
		During the KMT's national congress on Sunday, 30 March 2003, Chairman Lien Chan said that if he were elected president next year he would embark on a "journey of peace" to China, which would result in "equitable interaction" and "win-win cooperation" between the two sides of the Taiwan Strait.
		Lien said that a "division-of-labor" structure is now gradually forming between the two sides, as local businesses keep their management and headquarters in this country while moving their production and operations to China.

		Therefore, Lien Chan and James Soong have traditionally been political rivals and did not seem likely to cooperate with each other during the 2004 presidential election.
		In other words, Lien and Soong's campaign strategy is an "addition strategy," that is, a realization that their combined political weight two of them together offers a promise for defeating their DPP opponents.

	One whole jujuflop situation » The KMT ‘Generation Game’
		Lien Chan will be the last KMT Chairman who can remember life in mainland China under the KMT; as he and his mainland colleagues slowly lose their grip on the KMT, the question is “Will the next generation have the same commitment to the concept of China?”.
		Maybe Lien is waiting for the court ruling on last year’s election before finalizing his committment to retirement and obscurity.
		The KMT ‘old guard’ (headed by Lien Chan) were always going to resist change (I had posted before questioning how much freedom the new leader would really have), but this should give Ma the power to push through reforms despite their resistance.

	The View from Taiwan: Lien's Drive for the Top Continues?
		Lien Chan has lost two elections, and his supporters seem to be suffering from historical amnesia, forgetting that "uniter" Lien Chan broke the KMT the first time he ran for President.
		A few years I had the sneaking suspicion that Lien Chan's bumbling incompetence was actually Lee Teng-hui's tool to destroy the KMT, but it is pretty clear that the KMT is capable of doing that all on its own.
		This thought was reflected today in the report that many of the Taipei neighborhood bosses had contributed to erect a giant sign saying "Grandfather Lien, Don't Run Again!" The sign was a parody of the welcome sign that Lien met when he went to the school in China.
